It never became a massive seller and never found itself above 'OK Computer' or 'Definitely Maybe' in the usual 'best of the 90s' lists. It does however, remain a very special and deeply loved album for those who actually bothered to listen, something of a cult classic perhaps.
The pace is cranked up a gear for the sick, crazy 'First Man On The Sun', a perverse romp through rhumba rhythms and drum n bass vibes, with lots of black humour in its lyrical twists and turns, as well as its seedy kazoo hooks.
Is 'There's Something Going On' a concept album? Is it a reminder that all people need love, even bad people? Or is it a revelation that love itself can be a dark and cruel thing? You'll have to ask Stephen Jones. Read a full review and feature on the album HERE.
